Like waking up each morning to a steaming hot cup of unfunny smug—Black, no cream, and with enough artificial sweetener to choke a Diet Pepsi.
I miss Rosie already.

Predictions:
1) Whoopi’s tag-line: “Which way is de white mens?”
2) Joy Behar sits as far away from Whoopi as humanly possible, fingers can of pepper spray in purse.
3) Baba Wawa sits with stupid grin, says nada. No change.
Yet another model of rational thought. Apparently Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, Tim Hutton, and Ted Danson were not available.
I liked her most as Guinan, although the lack of eyebrows was always a puzzler: does she pluck, or is it female pattern baldness?
Back on topic, though, I haven’t noticed that she’s on the same level of disturbance as Rosie. Not even close.
Rosie was at least crazy.
Whoopi is as predictable as a Jane Hamsher tirade.
True story: once, upon a trip to Charlotte, NC, for a comedy show appearance, Whoopi stopped in a used book store called Dilworth Books. The proprietor was an unreconstructed old Southerner named Haze Honeycutt (now deceased). Whoopi poked around the stacks, selected a few books, and took them to the register to check out. She goggled in disbelief when she saw the book Haze had in a place of honor in the glass display case that the register rested on:
A first edition of Little Black Sambo.
I can’t recall if Haze told me she bought it, but they certainly discussed it.
*laughs*
Whoopi might not bully the others on the show the way that Rosie did, but look for her to play the race card if she gets on the losing side of an argument.
Jeez, is it some kind of requirement that all “progressive” woman HAVE to be ugly and loud?
No, but being ugly helps. Pretty women are usually far too coddled to reach the requisite levels of outrage necessary to be a modern leftist. If there are any pretty women out there not currently being coddled, please let me know. I shall be happen to render assistance. Wouldn’t want you falling in with a bad (feminazi) crowd, now would we?
I think being loud is a result of being a lefty and therefore perpetually outraged.
Jeez, is it some kind of requirement that all “progressive†woman HAVE to be ugly and loud?
They have to show they can be just as loud and rude as any “male”. It’s empowering to behave in a way that would cause Andrew Dice Clay’s fans to change the channel, dontcha know?
Ugly, loud, and just as crude as Rosie, without all that lesbian stuff. How rich. Who makes these decisions?
I wonder if Whoopie will be on hand when Michael Smerchonish shows up to talk about the PC police and hawk his book “Muzzled?”
I could almost, almost be convinced to watch just for the smackdowns.
I loved the caricature of Whoopi the South Park guys did. Hosting an awards show, her “comedic” patter was something like, “Republicans are stupid.” [audience laughs] “I hate Republicans.” [more laughter] “Republicans are stupid.” [applause]
There must be something in the water out there in Colorado.
I’m assumeing this is a step up from Hollywood Squares?.?.
Maybe they hired the wrong Ms. Goldberg.
DO you think she’ll be able to do any crotch-grabbing-Bush-lied rants? I mean, I have to work, but I could tape it and then ignore it…
Actually, you pegged her monologue on “South Park” word-for-word. Also good was watching the audience bray in laughter at her “wit.” It was a like a cartoon vision of “The Daily Show” audience.
Charles – I doubt Lucianne Goldberg was on their short-list.
Who in the hell would grab that crotch ?!
Ted Danson would…..once upon a time. Maybe that’s why they broke up; Ted wanted to keep his hands intact.
JeffS – Thanks a lot. Now, my mind’s eye is bleeding, profusely, from the mental picture conjured up. Must. Call. My. Therapist.
Actually, I was thinking of the fair Jessica.
Don’t want to stick up for Ms. Goldberg, but I seem to recall that she risked tremendous unpopularity on The View by pointing out that Sean Hannity was one of the only voices supporting her free speech.
The doyennes closed ranks and I think she was semi-blacklisted, or at least invited to not return for a bit.
I don’t have a lot of respect for her, but she bought herself a seat at the table with that.
I had Whoopi Cough when I was an infant.
*groan*
You really need to stop your shame from takeing those midweek trips to Key West….
Why have they decided that the lead role needs to be filled by a self-styled “comedian” who lacks the primary attribute of a comedian – humor ?
For ABC’s sake, hopefully it isn’t the train wreck that Rosie was, but it will certainly be interesting to see what kind of luny views Whoopi brings to the table.
